Author(s): Benita Grace Babu
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is an underdiagnosed neurological disorder characterized by neurological symptoms which can develop acutely or sub acutely. It is usually more common among middle aged females. As specified by its name, it is a reversible condition, however timely detection and appropriate management is necessary in order to prevent complications like neurologic deficits and cerebellar herniation. Here is a case report of a 20 year old patient who presents with PRES syndrome in the early postpartum period.
